March 2009 MCAA Newsletter
MIDWEST CARP ANGLERS ASSOCIATION Hello fellow club members! This is Sam Snow, founder, Midwest Carp Anglers Association. There is a lot of cold weather carp fishing going on. If you get a chance, go out and have some fun! Be safe and good luck! Sam. CLUB NEWS The organization is continuing to grow. This is an exciting time! ANNUAL DUES. The annual dues are $2.00 per year, from March 1st, 2009 through February 28th, 2010. New members who signed up on or after September 1st, 2008 will not have to renew their membership until March 1st, 2010. Becoming an MCAA member is fun, educational and affordable. With the economy, job issues, politics and poor fisheries management (at least in this area), carp fishing the ‘MCAA Way’ is a good recreational choice for individuals, families, beginners and experienced carp fishermen.
The 3rd Annual MCAA Winter Tournament ends Saturday, February 28th. Winners will be announced following tournament guidelines. Some pretty hardcore winter carp anglers have been ringing up some nice catches during the tournament. Please check out the website for current leaders. Members, please send in your personal best carp pictures, commons, mirrors, grass carp and koi. It does not matter when or where you caught it; they are all great to see. Also, if you have fishing tackle you are not using and maybe want to sell, list it on the sale page. There is no charge for this. Please check the website for details.
